Hanging RE License in SoCal

Isaac Baron
Posted

Hi, 

I just passed my real estate exam and got my license. I would like my license to be active, but I want to do my own thing for the time being, and use the license to save on commission as well as receive access to the MLS. I have heard of brokerages that will let you hang your license there for a fee, does anyone know of one in the LA area? Also a quick google search brought me to this virtualrealtygroup, which claims to be a cloud brokerage where you can hang your license. If anyone has any experience or thoughts with this company or something similar advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've found that at least in California, you have to not only hang your license with a broker, but you also have to join a Realtor board to get MLS access. This can get pricy. Maybe someone can chime in if I'm incorrect here.
